About Debra

I believe that my best personality traits are kindness and compassion. I have always had a special place in my heart for senior citizens and for those who have developmental challenges. I absolutely love giving companionship to those who might not otherwise have any. I love to see the smile on someones face when you share a special one on one moment with them. That means the world to me! I am personally proud of the fact that I was a stay at home mother and was able to raise two amazing and successful children. Personal achievements do not get any sweeter than that.

I have received extensive training in CPR, First Aid, Medication tech., as well as specialized training in mental health and neurological disorders such as Depression, Schizophrenia, and Dementia/ Alzheimer's disease. In addition, I completed a caregiving training course which provided further education and instruction in caregiving activities including assistance with grooming/hygiene care, transferring/mobility challenges, and toileting., and companionship. I did receive my caregiver certification upon my completion of this training course. I have worked in private home health care for approximately 4 years now, and am able to provide references upon request.
